This release represents a point release incorporating a few patches made
against the 1.0.X source over the last 1 1/2 years. Specific updates
include:
* Incorporate changes from Joost Witteveen to support extended
%SR% commands.
* Fix endless loop bug when gerbv encountered an unknown
% code. Patch from Joost Witteveen.
* Fixed initial scale setting for %MOMM% Gerber files.
Patch from Joost Witteveen.
* Fixed format for small drillfiles. Patch from Trevor Blackwell.
* Fix setting of the initial window size when the screen
is larger than the display. Patch from David Carr.
Most of the previous pkgsrc patches have been incorporated upstream (yay!).

New in 20051222
- full-height vertical scrollbar appears if the total height of all
panels becomes larger than the window.
- new panel type "jumbo" stays larger even when things get crowded
- most deprecated guile calls removed. Guile 1.6 or later is now required.
New in 20050928
- ALPHA RELEASE: may crash. do not rely on for production use.
- handling of multi-sweep datafiles
- vertical scrollbars on label/measure area in each wavepanel make handling
large numbers of waveforms easier.
New in 20031202
- Got docstring extraction from C source to .txt files in doc directory working again
- applied submitted patch that cleans up warnings from gcc3 about multiline text strings in C code
New in 20030917
- bugfixes to make the new print/plot stuff work better
- path to working gnu graph found by configure is passed to scheme code
then automatically generate a PLIST that says "${PKGNAME} has no files".
* If PLIST_SRC and GENERATE_PLIST are not set in a package Makefile,
and no PLIST files exist, then fail during the package build with
PKG_FAIL_REASON.
* Remove "intentionally empty" PLISTs again.
Now, the easy way to say that a package installs no files is to just
add the following to the package Makefile:
PLIST_SRC= # empty
that directly manipulate empty PLISTs.
Modify plist/plist.mk so that if the PLIST files are missing and no
GENERATE_PLIST is defined, then the package fails to build.
There are a large number of changes in this update. Many bugs have been fixed,
VCD writing has been improved, the build system has migrated to a fully
autoconf/automake system from a partial gnu system.
The code written as part of the 2007 Google summer of code has been incorporated
which allows waveform reloading and provides the framework for further enhancements.
For the complete set of changes, see CHANGELOG.TXT in the distribution file.

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20070912
========================================================================
This release represents nearly 200 commits and as such this summary
clearly is not complete. See the ChangeLog file for the complete list
of changes.
- Many many bug fixes. Too many to list.
- Added keystone, C&K, Nichicon, and Optek footprint libraries
- Add attribute editor to the GTK HID
- Add a fileselect() function to the HID spec
- Fix ps output with drill helper on
- Add a visual indicater when elements are locked
- Corrections to the manual
- BOM can export in mm as well as mil
- Fix a ps output bug with arcs
- Fix some memory leaks found with Coverity
- Added autoconf test for buggy versions of m4
- Fixed some footprint drill sizes
- Add user customizable menus for the gtk HID. The gtk HID now is capable
of reading the same format menu resource files as the lesstif HID.
This represents significant rework of the menu code and menu callback code.
- Added Center() action
- Store the file format in the .pcb file. This will let pcb know when
presented with a file which is too new. The code for checking the format
was present in the prior snapshot.
- Fix DRC checking of square pads to square pads
- Added window panning/cursor warping
- Add the ability to directly load a footprint from a file as if it were
a complete layout.
- Add a Popup() action
of an emulated operating system. Instead of proliferating things like
SUSE_VERSION_REQD, NETBSD_VERSION_REQD, SOLARIS_VERSION_REQD, etc., a
package can say:
EMUL_REQD= suse>=9.1 netbsd>=2.0 solaris>=10
all in one, succinct line.
binary-only packages that require binary "emulation" on the native
operating system. Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README for more
details.
* Teach the plist framework to automatically use any existing
PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} as part of the default PLIST_SRC definition.
* Convert all of the binary-only packages in pkgsrc to use the
emulator framework. Most of them have been tested to install and
deinstall correctly. This involves the following cleanup actions:
* Remove use of custom PLIST code and use PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM}
more consistently.
* Simplify packages by using default INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts
instead of custom INSTALL/DEINSTALL code.
* Remove "SUSE_COMPAT32" and "PKG_OPTIONS.suse" from pkgsrc.
Packages only need to state exactly which emulations they support,
and the framework handles any i386-on-x86_64 or sparc-on-sparc64
uses.
* Remove "USE_NATIVE_LINUX" from pkgsrc. The framework will
automatically detect when the package is installing on Linux.
Specific changes to packages include:
* Bump the PKGREVISIONs for all of the suse100* and suse91* packages
due to changes in the +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL scripts used in all
of the packages.
* Remove pkgsrc/emulators/suse_linux, which is unused by any
packages.
* cad/lc -- remove custom code to create the distinfo file for
all supported platforms; just use "emul-fetch" and "emul-distinfo"
instead.
* lang/Cg-compiler -- install the shared libraries under ${EMULDIR}
instead of ${PREFIX}/lib so that compiled programs will find
the shared libraries.
* mail/thunderbird-bin-nightly -- update to latest binary
distributions for supported platforms.
* multimedia/ns-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
* security/uvscan -- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly so that
it's not necessary to install library symlinks into
${EMULDIR}/usr/local/lib.
* www/firefox-bin-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.

Changes
_________________________________________________________________
libgeda/gschem
* libgeda's shared library version is now 29:0:0.
* Added "recently used files" File menu option. Now you can open up
files you used recently (and if you have a gafrc your components
should be found too) and open those files up in a new gschem
window. (Ivan Stankovic)
* Merge of the noscreen branch (many changes). This branch removed
all cached screen coordinates. Now all calculations are done in
world coordinates and should yield some drawing improvements. End
users should not notice any difference (other than the slight
speed up). (Peter Clifton)
* Many improvements to the "Write image..." dialog box in gschem.
gschem can now export any image that gtk+ (gdk-pixbuf
specifically) can write (png, jpg, ico, bmp, etc...). Libgd is no
longer an optional dependency and cannot be used with
libgeda/gschem. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* Improved the auto placing mechanism. One improvement (amongst
others) is in the cases of: if the attribute overlap with pins
(including pinnumbers), or the pin connection direction where a
net is supposed to be drawn, then the attributes are moved
automatically. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* A few improvements to the component place selector including
adding ok button to hide the component insert dialog box).
(Various)
* Added items (links to the wiki and FAQ) to the gschem help menu.
(Peter Brett)
* Fixed a nasty bug that was causing random crashes with keymaps
that did not have a valid keyval/keysym. (Peter Clifton)
* Fixed the drawing of dotted arcs/circles when the dot spacing is
too small to render. (Peter Clifton)
* Fixed component selector filter to be case insensitive. (Carlos
Nieves Onega)
* Added PageUp and PageDown hotkeys to change pages in gschem.
(Peter Brett)
* Fixed the ordering of buttons in all gtk dialog boxes to be
correct (based on what gtk+/gnome/desktop conventions). (Carlos
Nieves Onega)
* Added %%Orientation to DSC block in postscript output. (Mike
Jarabek)
* Fixed color printing of select objects (should not output the
selected color). (Peter Clifton)
* Added hotkeys to decrease and increase the snap grid spacing.
(Carlos Nieves Onega and Peter Brett)
* Improved keymap filling routines (Werner Hoch and Patrick Bernaud)
* Fixed a couple of small memory leaks. (Ales Hvezda)
* The usual slew of bug fixes by many individuals.
* A bunch of code cleanup/fixes by various individuals.
* Various language translations updated by various individuals.
gnetlist
* New gnetlist backends written: Calay and Osmond. (John Doty)
* Moved the loading of scheme files using the "-l" command line
before the schematics are loaded (this allows the scheme code to
modify the various search paths).
* Various improvements to the spice-sdb backend including the
treatment of slotted parts (so that pins are emitted in pinseq
order). (Stuart Brorson)
* Added and improved a bunch of regression tests. The vast majority
of these tests are now run during make distcheck. (Stuart Brorson
and Ales Hvezda)
* A few bugs fixed. (Various)
gattrib
* Added doxygen generated docs. (Stuart Brorson)
* A bunch of bugs fixed. (Stuart Brorson and Peter Clifton)
docs
* Removed the html version of the gsch2pcb tutorial. Instead, the
gsch2pcb tutorial is now part of the wiki thanks to several
individuals (Patrick Doyle and Bogdan Petrisor).
* Updated the wiki snapshot to the latest web wiki version. (Ales
Hvezda)
* Misc improvements to various wiki scripts. (Ales Hvezda)
symbols
* Added greek mu character. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
* Added upper case greek omega character. (Jens Persson)
gsymcheck
* No significant changes.
utils
* Added refdes_renum test suite. (Dan McMahill and Stuart Brorson)
* Incorporated --gentle into refdes_renum which doesn't overwrite
refdes'es already numbered. (Stuart Brorson)
* Moved gschemdoc to the gschem package. Bunch of improvements to
the gschemdoc script related to finding local/remote
documentation. (Carlos Nieves Onega)
examples
* Fixed automake infrastructure to install 2N3904 model for the
TwoStageAmp example. (Stuart Brorson)

Nelma is a (command line) tool for numerically calculating various
electrical properties of printed circuit boards or similar objects
composed of conductors and dielectrics (however code is optimized for
circuit board-like geometry).
It is currently capable of calculating capacitances between objects -
nets on a PCB. It returns a spice-compatible description of an
equivalent circuit of stray capacitances that can be for example used
for more accurate circuit simulation. Alternatively it can also
produce field data that can be plotted for example with Gnuplot.
Support for calculating resistances existed for a while but was later
removed because it didn't receive much testing.
Nelma is available under the GNU General Public License version 2.
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20070227
* Fix some problems with specify block parsing. Detect some cases that
are parsed but not properly implemented yet and issue warnings or
errors. Also fixed a few problems with inertial delay model timing.

reported to users. This includes more specific error messages for
certain syntax errors.
* Fix problems with overridden continuous assignments.
* Hide bool types from logic type as far as VPI is concerned, for the
sake of compatibility.
* Fix a variety of code generator expression lifetime bugs that caused
obscure (and wrong) output results in behavioral code.
